Overview

It is important to note that this A2013 iPad Pro 11-Inch supports Gigabit-class LTE on bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 29, 30, 34, 38, 39, 40, 41, 46, 66, and 71, but does not support bands 28 or 42. It is sold in the United States and Canada.


The iPad Pro 11-Inch (Wi-Fi+Cellular - United States/Canada) has a fully-laminated, antireflective 11" LED-backlit 2388x1668 "Liquid Retina" display (264 ppi, 600 nits) framed by a thin black bezel and housed in a slim case with rounded corners and flat sides. It is available in silver or "Space Gray" and lacks a "Home" button.


This iPad Pro is powered by an eight-core 2.5 GHz Apple A12X Bionic processor, an "embedded M12 coprocessor," and a "Neural Engine" for machine learning and AR. It was offered with 64 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM, or 1 TB of storage and 6 GB of RAM.


Key features include "Face ID" authentication, support for the new Apple Pencil 2nd Gen (A2051, MU8F2AM/A, US$129) which charges magnetically, and a new "Smart Keyboard Folio." It has dual cameras (12 MP rear, 7 MP front) and a USB-C port, a first for the iPad series, supporting charging, camera connectivity, and external displays up to 4K.


In addition to USB-C and cellular capabilities, it has A-GPS, dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with HT80 with MIMO, and Bluetooth 5.0. It also features four microphones and a four-speaker system.


The battery life is rated at 10 hours for Wi-Fi web surfing, video, or music, and 9 hours on a cellular network. This model has an eSIM and a nano-SIM slot.


Compared to its predecessor, this iPad Pro 11-Inch model features a larger display in a similar-sized body, a more powerful architecture, support for an improved Apple Pencil, and USB-C connectivity.

Evaluation

The A2013 model of the 11-inch iPad Pro was hailed as a groundbreaking achievement for users in the US and Canada. The radical redesign, featuring a brilliant edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display and seamless Face ID, felt like a true generational leap. Its performance, powered by the A12X Bionic chip, was nothing short of extraordinary, rivaling and often exceeding that of contemporary laptops, making it a legitimate tool for demanding professional tasks. The transition to USB-C was a universally praised move, offering unprecedented connectivity and versatility for a tablet. This was complemented by the vastly improved 2nd generation Apple Pencil. For mobile users, the A2013's comprehensive support for LTE bands across North American carriers ensured fast and reliable connectivity. It was reviewed not just as an excellent tablet, but as a visionary product that powerfully challenged the conventional definition of a personal computer.
